AMEP's block printing material is unique and versatile. This high quality printmaking polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is available in various sizes and two shapes. These blocks do not crack, break or crumble. The smooth, non-slip carve greatly reduces the possibility of classroom accidents usually associated with lino block printmaking. Score, bend, and tear the blocks to make smaller pieces that best fit your project. The .5" thickness allows for printing on both sides and is great for beginners who may dig into the material. When carving is complete these blocks can be used on various types of roto presses as well as in printing presses or can be transferred by simply applying pressure to the block.
